This is why Colbert is going to be so fucking good. I mean, he cracks too occasionally, but it’s so rare that it’s just fucking awesome when he does anyway. And otherwise, he lends the straight-faced gravitas to the absurd that we need in late night.

For the most part he’s like every other late night host (granted his impressions can be pretty good). Thing is, other hosts don’t constantly break character during skits, or find a way to plant themselves front and center during segments when they’re not the focus. That’s what always bugged me about Fallon. It’s as Tracy Morgan said about Fallon when they were both on SNL, the breaks in character are Fallon’s way of getting the attention centered back on him. No one should enable an attention whore (even in the world of Late Night entertainment).

That was awesome. Where are all the Uproxx Will Ferrells haters at? Can’t deny how great this was. Especially the interview: “We take instruments away from children… we take them to a junkyard and we DESTROY them in front of the children”
